Bridgedeck, well backed. Attached there, I can handle all cockpit and
mainmast chores, the latter usually from a standing position inside the
companionway when it's really wild. If I must go to the bow, I usually come
out the forward hatch and attach to the bow pulpit. If I must travel over
the cabintop to the bow, I use the mast step as an intermediate attachment
point.

Regards,
Bill Combs
